I responded first to a free n-8
tractor and tiller on cl. Fellow
named Jeff brought it to me!
Jeff went to 84 year old uncles
house hoping to save the family
8n. Sat 20 years, its behind the
pink ball, under a tarp

Jeff was able to pull it out of
the blackberries, and get in on a
buddies trailer. Saw no red or
grey paint, rear rims and tires
rotted away, fan stuck, so gave it
away.
He was aware of it having a
howard, but not a tractor guy. His
passion is restoring old
motorcycles.
As I first saw it, I was blown
away!!!
We got it pulled off the trailer,
and looked at the howard gear and
tiller, and saw the big welds on
the narrowed rear end. Also has an
extension handle to engage the
pto.
I show him my 8n stuff, and he is
happy he found a good home for it,
and was ok if I had to part it
out.
Jeff sees my sons cr250 honda,
that son never rode. It sat 15
years in the carport. He was eager
to find out if son would sell it.

That afternoon, called Jeff saying
son agreed with me, we want you to
have the honda, is yours for
free!!
And by the way, got your tractor
running!!
He was blown away!!
Came to get it 2 days later.
Asked if he wanted his
grandfathers tractor back. He said
no, and that he was planning on
doing a total resoration on the
honda, and would send pics from
time to time.
Here is his families 8n-c

I looked at Marvin Baumanns
vinyard tractor, and wonder if
this is one. Jeffs family was in
the flower growing business, back
in the 70's so maybe it was made
for that.
Thanks for listening, and any info
would be appreciated.
